Consumer Courts
Chandigarh, December 11 The complainant, Nisha, a resident of Ram Darbar, had stated that she had got married in 2001. She conceived in 2007 and underwent treatment at the ESIC Model Hospital, Ram Darbar, during pregnancy. On December 6, 2007, she was hit by a motor cycle at Ram Darbar and started bleeding profusely. She was taken to the ESIC Model Hospital, Ram Darbar, around 11 am. As her husband was out of station, she did not possess the employee identity card and was unable to produce the ESIC card at that time. She was then taken to the ESIC Hospital, Industrial Area. Even at producing an OPD card as well as antenatal card before the doctors, they insisted on seeing the ESIC identity card if the patient wanted to get treatment there. The doctors did not even administer the first aid to the patient, it was alleged. After three hours, she was told to go to Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector-32. However, when she reached the GMCH around 2 pm, it was declared that the child in her womb was dead. In reply, the senior state medical commissioner, ESI Corporation, Sector 19, and ESIC Model Hospital, Industrial Area, admitted that the complainant had reached the ESIC hospital around 11 am on December 6, 2007. The doctors on duty referred the patient from the casual ward to the labour room. A physical and gynaecological examination was done and dressing of her bruises was done. After the initial examination, she was sent to the radiology department for an urgent USG. After sonography, she was brought back to the labour room. Without the production of the ESI identity card, which was not even required to be produced at that time, she was treated and IV fluids and analgesic injections were administrated to her and her vitals and FHS were monitored. Around 1 pm, she suddenly developed PV bleeding and her speculum examination revealed profuse vaginal bleeding. She was catheterised and efforts were made to contact her husband to explain the condition, but since he was out of station the condition was explained to the attendant. The attendant was told that due to lack of operation facility, the patient needed to be urgently referred to the nearby hospital ie the GMCH. A reference slip with all reports and ANC card were given to the attendant and an ambulance was arranged. To probe the allegations of the complainant, a committee was appointed to ascertain the truth in the allegations. The committee submitted its report, which revealed that the allegations of the complainant were wrong because the best possible treatment was provided to her.
